minus-squarealeph@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8arrow-down3·edit-21 year agoThis is irrelevant. We’re talking about smartphones here, and most new Android phones support > 3.0. Limiting a flagship phone in 2023 to USB 2.0 transfer and charging speeds is a cheapskate move.
minus-squareAlbum@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·edit-21 year agoThe article only really has facts about the 2.0 cable, anything said about the device is speculated. The entire article is literally based on a tweet where someone tested the cable. The title of the article and of this Lemmy post references that.

minus-squarealeph@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoAh, I see. If the phones themselves support > 3.0, that would certainly be less egregious.
minus-squareredcalcium@lemmy.institutelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoIIRC current iphones with lightning connector are still using USB 2.0 and only ipad pro actually has USB 3. I could be wrong though.
minus-squarep1mrx@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-21 year ago most new Android phones support > 3.0 Where do you find that information? Do you know of a reviewer that benchmarks the USB transfer rate of Android phones? Edit: I found this: https://www.androidauthority.com/google-pixel-problem-usb-c-file-transfer-1075286/ 10.8GB / 480 Mbps = 180 seconds, and those phones are all faster, so they must be using USB 3.x. In other words, iPhone 15 will have slower USB data than the Pixel 1.
